Three Sisters in Orem Date?

Aren't we having fun? Another coal black negative that has a memorable picture underneath. Skin tones aren't great, but would you delete this picture? Absolutely not. I'll leave you all in suspense until the next one comes along.

This was Dwight's retirement party. Louise and I presented him with the family memory quilt that she dreamed up, we both sewed and quilted with help from Cheryl. The quilt was at my house in the basement, and we spent time together quilting - I have more pictures of this event, including the one of Dwight with the quilt, with an unknown person holding it up. It was a Blood family reunion - Ann was there, as was her children, grandchildren, etc. I have to look for Paul. And I do remember that Judy was wearing a denim skirt or jumper - looking very chic.

It was Dwight's Retirement Party because I hunted down some other photos taken at Dwight's retirement party and you are wearing these clothes. There is another photo where I am wearing a ghastly yellow knit top. So thankful to not be in this photo.Name tags are always a good idea - or not. Whose idea was that?

For all those who are waiting with baited (?) breath for me to comment- here goes. The picture WAS at Dwight's retirement party- after checking my scrapbook - and the name tags were because there were family members we hadn't seen for ages. Wasn't it a grand party?

I think I believe Louise, BUT maybe the clothes are the same as some other pictures, because those are the only clothes we might have. I still wear that denim jumper, so if we had a get together this next summer, I would probably wear it, and that would continue to confuse the issue!

Welcome to the Blood Family Blog

Welcome to our blog. We look forward to getting acquainted with and linking to other familes who want to know more about who we are. We have come a long way from our rural beginnings in the small country valley of Penrose in northwest Wyoming, but our roots and fond memories are still attached to where we began.

The Blood family blog is an information center for the extended family of Russell and Minnie Blood. The Blood family is a large and diverse family. We have school teachers, college professors, attorneys, financial planners, day care providers, pharmacists, engineers, coaches, realtors, quilters, crafters, scrapbookers, photographers, writers, wood workers, metal crafters, college students, young marrieds, old marrieds, Republicans, and a few Democrats. We live all over the country. We hope you enjoy our story.
